Government Information Department has announced that Sri Lanka has rejected issuing visa for popular singer Akon for the scheduled concert in Sri Lanka. This kind of concerts will undoubtedly help in promoting tourism in Sri Lanka with more awareness.
Moreover, these kinds of visa refusals would create a bad image for the country.
Nevertheless, who can justify for insulting a religion? Who can believe the statement made by Akon that he was not aware that he was dancing around a Buddha Statue? If he is a spiritual man (as he says), he should apologize from Buddhists.
Obviously, protesting is not the answer, and this is not the first or the last incident which insulted the Buddhism. On the other hand, Buddhists should not worry about what others do until they do the right things. Therefore, Buddhists should do the needful consciously without being aggressive.
